Bring Me The Horizon No Longer Allowed To Instigate Moshing At Warped Tour

The Scoop: According to a few tweets from Oli Sykes, vocalist for metalcore outfit Bring Me The Horizon, he and the rest of the band are no longer to instigate moshing of any sort at the remaining dates of the tour due to prospective lawsuits from parents with children getting injured while attending the festival. You can check out the tweets from Sykes below, and be sure to stay tuned to MEB as we continue to follow this evolving story.

Also by law I’m no longer allowed to say mosh pit or wall of death or anything of the like… So whatever you do- DON’T MOSH

The Spin: While it was obviously Warped Tour who stepped in and laid down these ground rules, we are still awaiting an official statement from the festival’s officials. An interesting story to say the least, mosh pits have been a part of not only Warped Tour, but just about any heavy-based music since the early 80’s. To see that be taken away would be like stripping attendees of half of the experience of the tour.

The Question: What do you think of the situation? How do you feel about mosh pits? Do you think they add to the experience of concert-going? Or Take away from it? Let us know in the comments below!

I like to think of myself as a musical savant; if I learn anything new about music (or in some way relating to music) I stow it away within the confines of my mind. The more knowledge I have about the industry and music itself, the better I feel. Underoath is the reason I am who I am today. NCIS is the greatest show on television. Fall is the best time of year. Writing is my passion.
